Dec 16, 2021 · Even at 293# wet, the 2020 klx230 that I recently sold felt like a pit bike compared to my 317# drz400. The tighter and smoother the terrain, be it dirt or pavement, the more fun the klx230 is. Because of the low seat height and shorter wheelbase, It has good power for what it is, and feels easier to control and more nimble than a typical ...

Jul 1, 2021 · So on a whim I went ahead and bought the Eibach springs from RMATV. But before installing them in the klx230 I was curious as to what spring rate the klx230 actually was. Doing some very unscientific measuring with Mrs. 76xtdrvr's bathroom scale, a yardstick, and a 24" long by 3/4" round wooden dowel I did some spring rate measuring.

Oct 1, 2024 · I was looking at stuff for my KLX140RF on this site and noticed they have a BBK for the KLX230R - 268cc using a 72mm forged piston. I imagine it would work with the street version, too since same motor. Would give it a nice kick in torque and hp. Usually the BBK increase compression ratio along w...

Sep 12, 2022 · Getting off the drz and on the klx230 is like getting off a full size dual sport and onto a pit bike. Depending on rider height and riding style, this can be either an advantage or disadvantage. The 293 lb. klx230 seat height of 34.8" is about the same as the 304 lb. klx250. Despite the weight of the klx230, it can be flicked around easily.

Sep 17, 2024 · Forks have tabs for speedo magnet and some road legal stuff (shared with KLX230). I'm think about grinding those off. Need to find touch up paint. Waiting for the gold valves.
